Hey everyone! I finished this hat as a Christmas present for my little brother - it’s a stranded hat in his school colors (he just entered middle school, so that’s kind of what he likes). I actually left The Knitting Workshop at college when I came home, so I kind of improvised this hat. But that’s what Elizabeth Zimmermann would have wanted anyway, right? 
Let me know what you think!

Awesome! he’ll think it is too =)
Those are my school colors too!
Gorgeous! I’m so impressed that you improvised this!
Redhead, You did a great job on this hat. I’m sure your brother will be excited to get it.:yay: :yay:
That turned out GREAT! I’m sure your brother is going to love it!
It looks great and he will love it!!
That is a cool looking hat and the colors really pop!!!
loos great 
that’s a freakin awesome hat.
that looks great! i’m sure he’ll love it!
Ooooooooh! That is soooo nice little redhead! Way to go! I just love colorwork! I don’t love knitting it…bugt, I love looking at it, and wearing it! Me and colorwork (stranded knitting) don’t get along so well!
I have the darndest time with the tension. Sigh.
GREAT job!!! I love it!
Me too! I love knitting cables, but I have a hard time with stranded. That’s why I think it’s good for me to practice on small projects like this :happydance:

I LOVE it!! He will too, no doubt-you did a great job, and you’re right, EZ would be proud! :teehee:
Wow, Rachel, it turned out great! I’m so impressed with your design skills. I’ll bet he loves it.
Looks great! I think EZ would be thrilled with the improvisation.
Wow. Excellent job!!
Beautiful!! I love those wavey designs on things. Looks very masculine. Your brother should love it.
Good job.
Awesome!
